The Buddies are back for a new adventure. This adventure centers around Mudbud and his owner Pete Howard (Mason Cook). Pete is suppose to be going on a camping trip with his grandpa Thomas (Richard Riehle), but when an amazing archeologist mystery can be solved he decides to travel to Egypt. Taking his grandson along for the amazing discovery.

Upon arriving in Egypt they are in a search to find Cleopatra’s tomb. Pete and his grandfather are unaware that they are being misguided and the treasure is in danger from Philip Wellington (Edward Hermann). Not only is Pete and his grandfather in danger, but so are all the buddies. Wellington’s evil cat is on a mission to find Cleopatra’s tomb as well. Once discovering the tomb she is hoping to find the magical necklace that she will use to make cats rulers of the world.

When Mudbud discovers her plot to take over he calls on his brothers and sister to head to Egypt and save the day. All the buddies hitch a ride and make new friends along the way. Babi a local pick pocket monkey helps the buddies find Pete. Half way into the mission they meet another friend Cammy, a baby camel who is looking to be reunited with her family. Since it seems the buddies and Cammy are all heading the same direction they trek on an adventure in the desert to find their loved ones.

With many dangers along the way the buddies will be there to save the day. “Treasure Buddies” is another fun-filled adventure. This latest installment will be for the older kids, especially with the dialogue used. The visual effects lacked quite a bit and made it hard to watch at times. Fans of the buddies will enjoy “Treasure Buddies”, but might find it missing the magic the others have. Look for it to be released on DVD Tuesday, January 31st. Bonus features include a tour of B-Dawg’s crib and an all new music video.
